yeah, because you need a lot of labour rights to make a living ... a person with skills and good work ethic will always find work, with or without "rights"

Always find work, sure, but work conditions are a big deal.

What ended child labor in (most) of the west? What gave us the weekend? What gave us paid time off? Blood. People had to sacrifice their lives. We have to actively fight for better working conditions.

not much relevant to me, and perhaps a lot of other people. I run my own business so no paid time off. Also, if needed I work weekends too - no issue.
